It is understood that the raid had to do with allegations linked to the development of a parcel of land in Kuala Lumpur that belonged to the Sri Mahamariamman Devasthanam temple.
Last year, a Hindu association questioned the plan, saying a trustee of the temple was also involved in the project. The claim was denied by R Nadarajah, the temple committee chairman.
A source told FMT that anti-graft officers had scoured the temple office in Batu Caves as well as the home of the senior office holder.
They also checked for documents in his bedroom, as well as two luxury vehicles.
